This season Holland & Sherry proudly present a new and exclusive collection of fabrics produced from Gostwyck superfine Saxon merino wool. Being the only
merchant with exclusive rights to this product, this wool become a core source for other qualities in our collection over the coming years.

HISTORY

Gostwyck is owned and managed by the fifth generation of the original purchaser Henry Dangar. Dangar bought the farm, located in the New England Tablelands in South
Wales, in 1834 from another pioneer, Edward Gotstwyck Cory, hence the name. In 1854 Dangar went to Saxony in Germany and bought 28 rams. These rams were escorted to Australia in the care of two
Saxon shepherds who later stayed on and made a new life in Australia.

THE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR THE FABRICS

in this collection have full traceability; meaning there is documented and recorded identificationof all processes from shheep to cloth.

Nothing is left to chance. Every fleece is tested and shearing so we can guarantee that the garments made from Gostwyck merino are comfortable and long
lasting.

ANIMAL TREATMENT

With a rotational grazing sheep management system in place, animal stress is minimised or eliminated. This means that:

The sheep do not graze on any one pasture for any great length of tome. This prevents the land from being stripped of nutrition - therefore food and water is
always abundant.

With a rotational grazing sheep management system in place, animal stress is minimised.

Overall animal health is improved.

The use of chemicals is minimised. This ensures high quality natural pastures are available to maximise nutrition.

Gostwyck has constantly omproved and has a tradition of being an early adopter oc scienceand grazing developments.

is the result of over 180 years expertly selecting merino sheep that produce finer, softer and whiter wool. Today the producers of Gostwyk wool produce merino which
is finer than most cashmere, and has been scientifically tested as the most comfortable natural fibre. This makes Gostwyck merino cpmletely itch free.

GOSTWYCK ULTRAFINE 14,6 micron - 15,5 micron

Averaging 15 micron, Gostwyck Ultrafine can be described as being finer and more luxurious than the softest cashmere. To achieve this, great care is taken not to
contaminate the wool tops with any other wool fibres coarser than 17,3 micron. These are considered too harsh and would compromise the next-to-skin comfort quality that the Gostwyck wool growers
pride themselves upon.

Gostwyck Ultrfine merino has a softness and luxury feel that surpasses all expectations.

OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS,

Gostwyck merino has developed and become one of the most comfortable wools that can be worn directely next to skin with little or no irritation, and is becoming
known for its next-to-skin comfort qualities. This quality is now measured and supported by tests from the WoolComfort Meter where Gostwyck merino scores at the very top of the comfort
spectrum.

NEXT-TO-SKIN COMFORT AND ITCH FREE

To ensure that all garments made from Gostwyck merono are itch free, every fleece is tested using a LaserScan system to determine the fibre diameter, prior to the
traditional classing process at shearing.
